After 20 years, the celebration at this year's Roots on the River Festival promises to be memorable. “We're going to celebrate with a bang,” producer Ray Massucco said. “We decided to mark the anniversary with some of our favorite acts from previous years, and what a show it's going to be!” The music festival will run from Friday, June 7, through Sunday, June 9, with venues under the Big Tent at the Rodeway Inn and at the Rockingham Meeting House.
